Ampersand enumerates some tips on choosing the right kitchen tap.
- Swivel is a great function so you can move the water point around the sink. You can also place a pot on the edge of the sink, swivel the tap, and then fill it hands-free. Another type of taps would be a one-handed lever which is really useful because you can turn it on with your elbow or the back of your hand, and it is great when cooking with dirty or greasy hands.
Fancy filtered taps have become popular in most kitchens. Being an additional tap, they can do a combo of boiled/chilled/sparkling water, allowing you to have instant boiled kettle, however, the only inconvenience about this type of taps is that they are expensive. As for the goose-neck, it goes up and curls over, allowing you to get a big chopping board or bucket under it. But be wary of the really tall statement taps because sometimes when water is falling from a great height it can splash everywhere. The durable tap isn’t that practical as children can hang off the tap to climb up to the sink!
